The eldest figure in this work wears a slightly open pale gold vest with a floral pattern over a shirt of gold and black pinstripes, and it was heavily promoted by Prospero Orsi after its artist grew weary of painting flowers for Giuseppe Cesari. It inspired a similar work by Georges de la Tour depicting a man and two women with feathers in their hats. This work brought its artist to the attention of Cardinal del Monte and it joins The Fortune Teller as its artist's second 1594 genre painting. It shows a backgammon board on a red table and a mustachioed man using two gloved fingers to signal to a dagger wielding boy. That boy draws papers with hearts and clubs in, for 10 points, this painting of a young man getting cheated, by Caravaggio.
